Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Sign-Ups Open Tomorrow

Summary

• The signups for the first Elden Ring Nightreign network test will open on January 10.
• The upcoming beta will be limited to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
• The first Elden Ring Nightreign network test is scheduled to take place sometime in February 2025.

The registrations for the first Elden Ring Nightreign network test are set to open tomorrow, January 10. However, there's a catch: the upcoming test will only be available on less than half of Elden Ring Nightreign's target platforms.

FromSoftware and Bandai Namco unveiled Elden Ring Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024 in December. This upcoming title promises a co-op Soulsborne experience set in The Lands Between, designed primarily for three-player parties. Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for a 2025 release.

As is typical for multiplayer games, Elden Ring Nightreign will undergo at least one network test before its launch. Signups for this limited-time beta will open on Friday, January 10. From that date, interested fans can register for the test on its official website. These betas often have a limited number of spots, though neither FromSoftware nor Bandai Namco have disclosed how many testers will be accepted. It's possible that this information may not be shared at all.

How To Sign Up For Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test

1. Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website starting January 10.
2. Register for the test and indicate your preferred platform.
3. Await an email confirming your enrollment in the test.
4. Participate in the test scheduled for February 2025.

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Is Limited to Only 2 Platforms

Those lucky enough to be selected can expect their confirmation email no later than February 2025, when the test is set to occur. Specific dates for the beta are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. However, there's a significant limitation: this test will only be available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Given that the game is also planned for release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the upcoming test will cover less than half of its target platforms. FromSoftware has confirmed that Elden Ring Nightreign will not feature cross-platform multiplayer, meaning the network test will restrict players to their respective console ecosystems.

While not officially confirmed, players should not expect any progress made during the network test to carry over to the full game. FromSoftware has not yet clarified whether Elden Ring Nightreign will have additional betas in the future, though this remains a possibility.

In addition to the absence of cross-platform multiplayer, another network limitation is the party size. Elden Ring Nightreign will only support solo play or parties of three, as FromSoftware has opted not to balance the game for duos. It's currently unclear whether the upcoming network test will include any additional gameplay restrictions.
